Do you perhaps have a link about the story of amazon removing the 1984 book on all kindles? It sounds very interesting, partly because it seems so absurd.

That story is about a lawsuit from one of the people they took it from.
Amazon sold 1984 on the Kindle store without permission, and when they realized their error they deleted it from everyone's kindle and refunded their money.
At the time it was suspected, but unknown. I remember the outrage, I'm not sure If I was lurking on here before I made an account, or I read it on slashdot or digg or something. Here are the HN comments from the time. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=710506
Most people don't. And the few that do only know because of this scandal.
There's something profoundly unintuitive about it. When you buy 5$ a book in the bookstore, you can't wake up some day with the door open, 5$ on your table and the book gone from your library.
